EBV persist as multicopy episomes in latently infected cells and alter transcriptional program of host systems. Knowledge of EBV tethering site helps us understand how EBV attaches to and regulates the host chromosome. Here, we introduce a step-by-step protocol for 4C-seq analysis, including cell fixation, 4C-DNA construction, and sequencing library preparation performed with EBV-positive Burkitt's lymphoma cells. The method can be applied in a variety of studies and cell-types to identify target loci associated with bait positions, such as viral episomes.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection in humans is ubiquitous and associated with various diseases. Remodeling of the immune microenvironment is the primary cause of EBV infection and pathogenesis; however, the underlying mechanism has not been fully elucidated. In this study, we used whole-transcriptome RNA-Seq to detect mRNAs, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA), and microRNA (miRNA) profiles in the control group, 3 days, and 28 days after EBV infection, based on the tree shrew model that we reported previously.

Host-virus Protein-Protein Interactions (PPIs) play pivotal roles in biological processes crucial for viral pathogenesis and by extension, inform antiviral drug discovery and therapeutics innovations. Despite efforts to develop the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-host PPI network, there remain significant knowledge gaps and a limited number of interacting human proteins deciphered. Furthermore, understanding the dynamics of the EBV-host PPI network in the distinct lytic and latent viral stages remains elusive.

Classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) is frequently related to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. Its malignant capacity is attributed to disruption of an EBV-host balance influenced by environmental and genetic drivers. EBV structures activate Type I interferon (IFN) pathway of the innate immunity, therefore, genetic polymorphisms could influence this response.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) genome quantitation in whole blood is used widely for therapeutic monitoring of EBV-associated disorders in immunosuppressed individuals and in patients with EBV-associated lymphoma. However, the most appropriate biological material to be used for EBV DNA quantitation remains a subject of debate. This study compare the detection rate and levels of EBV DNA from whole blood, plasma, enriched B-cells, and B-cell short-term culture supernatant using quantitative real-time PCR.
